The Four Pregnancy-Prevention Methods

Abstinence is the only birth control method that is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy as well as sexually transmitted diseases.

This little lesson on how to properly use a condom can help prevent sexually active people from getting an STD. Some other protection methods are female condoms, sponges, and diaphrams. When it comes down to choosing a good protection method, there are lots of places people can go to to get information.

1) Abstinence, or preventing sex, is the best way to prevent HIV/STD and pregnancy because if you don't have sex then you don't need to worry about getting pregnant or getting a STD/HIV. Condoms or other ways to prevent it are not always a 100% accurate but if you don't have sex you don't need to worry about it.

Frederick Hollick from The Marriage Guide stated that some forms were more frowned upon than others. The best form of prevention is stated within the Bible and has been practiced for thousands of years. It states, “If the seminal fluid not be placed within the Vagina, of course there can be no conception…,” (Doc. #8). On the other hand, men and women enjoyed sexual relations and intercourse and many did not practice abstinence. Therefore, there had to be other options for safe intercourse. For men, they had the option to wear a condom, which is “The employment of covering to the male, in the form of a thin skim tube, called a Condom, is of course efficacious as a preventive…,” (Doc. #8). People put ample trust into condoms for ‘safe sex’. The only way a condom would not work is if it was faulty and there was a hole that seminal fluid could leak out of to cause conception. Another form of prevention for men is, “…coitus interruptus, or male withdrawal before ejaculation,” (Doc. #8). This form is also known as ‘pulling out’. If men withdrawal before they ejaculate, a women will not be able to conceive. This form of prevention is not the best because a mistake can be made at anytime. If a mistake is made and a women conceives from intercourse, women have the choice to get an abortion. An abortion is “… The life of the fetus or embryo shall be destroyed in the woman’s womb or that a premature birth thereof be caused,” (Doc. #7). When a women decides to follow through with an abortion, they are doing so at their own risk of their life. An abortion can take a toll on a women’s body and life for the

In addition, there are many types of birth control and some are more effective than others. The pill is 99.9 percent effective in preventing pregnancies. Birth control is not only effective in preventing pregnancy, but also has its own advantages such as significant relief to women with painful menstrual cramps, decreases the risk of anemia, reduces acne, and much more. If birth control has a near perfect success rate, there is no harm in a teen’s ability to obtain birth control pills, but rather benefits to it.

Besides the operations, all types of birth control are not entirely guaranteed to prevent conception or STDs. Teen Source states, “The only 100% effective method of birth control is abstinence” (Birth Control, 2015-2017). In addition, citizens debate whether providing contraception to public school or health clinics encourage sex throughout the community.

Some of the most common include birth control, (pill, patch, implant, IUD, shot, vaginal ring, and more), condoms for males and females (the male condom is the most popular), spermicide, and of course, the most effective form of birth control is abstinence. Expecting woman to not have sex at all is unrealistic, but it is the only approach to completely avoiding an unwanted pregnancy. Woman who do not want to become pregnant should take every precaution necessary to ensure their chances of getting pregnant are low. An example of some steps woman can take to lower their chances of becoming pregnant other than abstaining, is using a combination of birth control, condoms, and spermicide. This combination would make it very difficult for a woman to become pregnant but nothing is as effective as abstinence. No matter what form of birth control is used woman should always keep in mind that no birth control other than abstinence is 100% effective. With that being said young girls should refrain in engaging in sexual activity until they are old enough to deal with the repercussions that can

The most obvious argument is that teens who are abstinent will never become pregnant. Abstinence is the only form of pregnancy prevention that has a 100% effectiveness rate. Every single method of contraception, including condoms and birth control pills, has a risk of failure.

These methods include barrier, hormonal, implanted devices and permanent. The barrier method blocks semen from reaching the egg, for example female and male condoms. With a success rate of about 79-82%, the barrier method provides the most protection against sexually transmitted infections. Both male and females can be purchased at your local drugstore for less than a dollar. Another form is hormonal, this prevents pregnancies by interfering with ovulation and fertilization. Types of hormonal methods are: the pill, patch and shot. Hormonal methods can be received thorough the blood stream, or like emergency contraception like the morning after pill is taken orally. Although, hormonal the emergency contraception should not be used as a regular form of birth control. Hormonal methods have a success rate of about 94-99%. Long-term method of hormonal birth control can protects one against pregnancy from 24 hours to 3 years, and for females cause light or no menstrual cycles. The final method I am going to discuss is implanted devices and permanent. Implanted devices are inserted into the body, and can be

The final method of birth control to discuss is the morning after pill, also known as emergency contraception or Plan B. The pill is taken orally after unprotected sex has already occurred. The pill can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected sex. The pill is available both over the counter or with a prescription. The pill stops the ovary from releasing an egg and being fertilized by the sperm. However, this method has many disadvantages. The morning after pill is only 89 percent effective at preventing pregnancy and it becomes less effective over time. It can also be very expensive, and it does not work if ovulation has already begun. The pill can also cause nausea, cramping, and vomiting due to its high concentration of estrogen and progesterone.

2. If you abstain from sex, you will decrease the chances of having STDs. You don't want any form of STD at all because studies showed its correlation with infertility, complications in pregnancy, fetal and infant death, chronic pelvic pain, and cervical cancer (Carr & Packham, 2017; Santelli et al., 2006, p. 73).

Kassi, I completely agree with your entire post. I also stated how there are a variety of methods for birth control. It is important to talk about each method because we need to find out which method is right for our patient. When talking with a patient, be sure to use simple words, so they can understand exactly what we are telling them. Lastly, we should tell the patient that birth control can help with any irregular periods and even acne.

As with many other diseases, prevention is key. It’s much easier to prevent STDs than to treat them. The only way to completely prevent STDs is to abstain from all types of sexual contact. However, if someone is going to have sex, the best way to reduce the chances of getting STDs are by using condoms.

While many people are inclined to express indifference regarding this concept, teen pregnancy is one of the most controversial topics in the contemporary society. This experience can be devastating for some individuals, as the fact that they are raw makes it difficult for them to effectively deal with the problem. Society becomes more stressing and most teens who become pregnant come to express feelings related to shame and fear. The fact that these individuals are hesitant about letting their parents know that they are pregnant contributes to their problems and finding help sometimes becomes an impossible mission. Lack of life experience materializes into a more severe type of stress, endangering both the mother and the child.

Condoms help in preventing pregnancy if used correctly. They are made from soft plastic and helps protect against STD’s. The condom also acts as a barrier so the sperm does not enter the uterus. This method is only used when you need it and are convenient to take with you. The Patch releases hormones which keep the eggs from leaving the ovaries. Without an egg there can’t be a pregnancy.
